All Moscow Metro trains, Moscow Central Circle (MCC) trains, and Aeroexpress trains feature the Moscow Transport (MT_FREE) Wi-Fi network. Passengers can stay online during an entire trip. People using the network only need to register once, when entering a metro or MCC train, bus, tram or trolleybus. After that, they can use the MT_FREE Wi-Fi network on various transit routes, without text-message identification.
“All metro lines have been converted to the Moscow Transport (MT_FREE) integral network, and this internet access system will eventually include bus, trolleybus and tram stops. Generally speaking, we need to convert all of the transport infrastructure’s Wi-Fi networks to the MT_FREE standard,” said Deputy Moscow Mayor Maxim Liksutov.
Several million passengers use Wi-Fi networks daily. The company MaximaTelecom operates the joint Wi-Fi network created under a long-term project with the Department for Transport and Road Infrastructure Development.
The city claims to have established Europe’s largest Wi-Fi network for public transit passengers. The MT_FREE network will also eventually include commuter trains.
